Celandine of course wasn't aware of how close that comparison actually was to the odd little situation that seemed to be creeping up on her.
"And holding hands doesn't mean anything. I've held hands with lots of boys." Cela pointed out and managed to stop a tiny blush as she thought about how Plymouth had ended up... and they had ended up... eeeep! that label still scared her; better not to think about it.
"And Juniper came with us, the picnic was for our astronomy assignment, and Barry and Mari came too and Livvy was going to but after she found us holding hands in the kitchen she disappeared." Cela noted.
"And, Cope is really smart and we both got assigned Abraxans for the Care of Magical creatures project, so we are working together and researching together."
Why did she feel the need to defend it all of a sudden?
... weird.
"And he gives me candy." Cela finished, some things still being of paramount importance and all.
Oh lovely! Nicholai, would have a fit if he knew that Celandine was holding hands with lots of boys. She compared her and Copernicus, to Kayla and Maddox and that didn't make her feel that much better considering at one time she and Maddox had been attracted to one another.
Kayla stood and listened as Cela, went on and on about Copernicus and a smile tugged at the corners of her mouth. "Just friends huh?" She pushed off the shelf and walked over to Cela. "You sure do talk about him a lot for him to be just a friend" she gave her a wink. "I don't think you've quite worked out how you feel about Copernicus yet." Kayla placed her quills on the counter and looked back at Celandine. "I'm not going to say you're too young because I was the same age when I met your brother and I have no plans on telling him either...because well there's nothing to tell at the moment" Kayla chuckled to herself for a moment. "But you know I will hurt him if he hurts you."
